Inhaling is the start of life at the most basic level: the supply of oxygen to an organism, the contraction of muscles—the start of the whole biological mechanism. Inhaling is also talking, singing, prayer and meditation, the moment of passage between biology and spiritual order. Even if, ultimately, these spheres are all really the same.
